I am learning how to buy stock and learnt about RSI, ROE and many other terms that I don't understand. Can anyone help me with it? Besides, please teach me how to identify a rising stock using the indexes or the analysis.

Yahoo! Finance can help you learn a lot about the terms used and what they mean. There's an education section that has a dictionary with all the terms and a number of other items.
Don't listen to that one person's advice on buying low and selling high. While it makes sense in theory, in practice it won't help you much. Learn more about the market and how to gauge a company's value by learning the terms used and what they mean. When you understand what they mean, you can use a screener like the one on Yahoo! Finance to help find companies that have good stats, like high return on equity (ROE) and good earnings growth.
An investment is something you believe in. When you invest time in something, it's because you believe in its success or that it will make things better. Invest in companies that, based on your research, you believe will be successful companies and will make good profit, after that, the price should only matter when you buy, bc if you researched it, the company will last long enough that you won't sell for years.

First, most investors should buy mutual funds rather than individual stock for increased diversification and therefore less risk. That said, if you want to buy stocks, be intent on owning quite a few of them as time goes along. I recommend buying profitable companies that have been a publicly traded company for at least five years... that way, you can chart their progress on where they were in the beginning and where they are now. There are many guides you can consult to look for stocks... but why not just use the Yahoo Stockscreener to find exactly what you're looking for? I recommend starting with some companies that have been around for awhile and whose future looks bright... like Microsoft or Dell if you like computers, or perhaps something like General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, or Procter & Gamble.
